Roadway Closure and Construction

From September 27 through approximately October 12, Kenmore Mercy’s south roadway entrance, adjacent to Westchester Boulevard, will be closed to car traffic. Construction crews will be widening the south entrance in preparation for the new ER’s access roadway and additional sidewalks and walkways.

Because the steel work phase of the project involves a great deal of welding, Robert J. Fritschi, facility planner for Catholic Health, reminds onlookers of the project. “As with any major construction project, it is not recommended to stare at the flashpoint of the welding as a precaution.”

Anticipated Completion Date

The building shell is anticipated to be completed by year end allowing for interior work to be done during the colder weather.

Expected to be completed in summer 2013, the $14 million construction project will result in a 24,000 square-foot addition to the south side of the hospital.

All Services Operating as Usual

During construction, all hospital and ER services are operating as usual. However, hospital entrances and parking will require temporary modifications to accommodate the construction.
